First post

Today is the day I started my blog as  the Principal at Whakamaru School, Mangakino, NZ. As a staff we are learning how to set up and write blogs. Some of us are further ahead than others, but as we are life-long learners everyone is really willing to learn. It will great to see each classroom having it's own blog.

    Love the Wordle you included, Jo. I hope your parents enjoy the blogs and post comments, too. It will really help your students to improve their writing skills. I am really looking forward to hearing more through the blogs.
    What are the most rewarding aspects of being a principal at Whakamaru School?

      Thanks for your comment Leigh. It will be a great way to interact more with our school community.
      The most rewarding aspect of being a Principal at Whakamaru School so far, is working with a wonderfully dedicated staff, delightful students and a supportive parent group. As a first time Principal this makes my job much easier.

    Perhaps you can add a widget that shows who reads your blog. It would be interesting to see who does.

    Today was school photo day. Everything went reasonably smoothly including the weather gods giving us a lovely autumn day with a colourful backdrop for the photos. It was lovely to see the preschoolers arriving to have the family photos done. The children arrived at school this morning dressed up for the event, with cool hairstyles and big smiles The staff even behaved for theirs - sitting up straight, smiling and not running away to get out of the annual photo.
